how goes it? >> reporter: bill, it is freezing cold out here today. officials in the midwest calling it cold fridgeit weather historic and life threatening. with the wind chill temperatures will get below 40 or 60 in the midwest. in the region, they are asking people to stay at home and stay indoors. schools in the region are cancelled from wisconsin and illinois and indiana and even in minnesota. it is the first time in 17 years that schedule schools are cancelled in minneapolis. travel delays. more than 300 cancelled. the mayor called for only emergency travel and shutting

down only to emergency personnel. many of those roads are frozen over. transportation officials in missouri have said that the rock salt is not doing good at this point with how cold it is. even behund me, this is the chicago river, completely frozen over and snow all the way. and half a mile out there is lake michigan frozen through here. it is expected to continue throughout today in chicago. high temperature negative ten degrees. >> check on your neighbors. and thank you so much. alisyn. >> he needs hot chocolate. and we'll get to the extreme weather center. >> look at temperature change in the last 24 hours. 29 degrees drop in chicago. and 36 degrees drop in clef land and 37 degrees in memphis and 30

degrees drop in new orleans. it is all pushing eastward in the east coast. in garrett, minus 14 in chicago. minus 14. that is not wind chill and that is actual air temperature. factor in what it feels like with the wind. it feels like minus 40. garrett is inside. we will keep him inside. minus 45 in green bay and minus 42 in chicago. we'll talk about this artic outbreak for years to come. wind chill advisories in florida. i have never seen these many wind chill ands watches in my career in ten years here. it is incredible. and widespread artic air and dangerous in ohio valley and northeast. watch as it continues to push southward and eastward. and minus 12 in chicago and

minus 19 in minneapolis. and going down to 9 and 8 in atlanta. we are around 40 degrees and we are going to drop 30 degrees. and all of this warm, and moist air pushed southward. and my fear is in the next 12 or 24 hours. temperature is going to drop and all of this moisture is going to be ice by tomorrow morning. that will be dangerous on the sidewalks and on the roads. we'll have a real problem all up and down the i- 95 corridor. and minneapolis, there is a day time high of minus 13 today. things are gradually warming up. it is a shot of artic air and seasonal temperatures by the end of this woke. man, alisyn, this is going to be an impact over the next 12 or 24 hours, bill. something that we will talk about for years to come.

>> is that real temperature or wind chill. >> menus 13 and 14 in chicago. i don't think they felt a daytime high like that are. that might be historic. >> i how garrett can speak. sometimes your mouth freezes in cold weather like that. >> there are tens of millions of people feeling this. >> what are you doing to stay warm. >> get creative@bill hemmer>> and to me@alsen camerota. harry reid planning a preliminary vote this afternoon on extending unemployment benefits. republicans will not go along with it. and the move is a strategy to make income inequality a issue in the election. chris stierwald and host of fox power play.

hi, chris. >> hi, alley. >> and not all republicans are opposed to extending unemployment benefits. but some like john boehner and rand paul wants offsets and something to come out of the budget if they spend money on extending unemployment. is harry reid open to that? >> not until he loses. as longs he might be able to get its way and shove this through. if he were able to pick up and get four more and he can get to 60 votes, he would vam it through and turn to the house of representative and say why do you hate porpeople so much and give us the spending. here we are not talking about unemployment insurance. it is a federal program starting after the panic in 2008 and extended when people exhausted state unemployment insurance and was a welfare program that carried people through to 99

weeks. it is a heart rending and touching thing when it comes to talking about losing the benefits. republicans do want something for this. they want reform in the process or at lost paid for and not just borrow the money. >> harry reid's argument never before has congress had to offset emergency spending. that is the phraseology he is using. most people think emergency spending hurricane relief and disaster relief. what is he talking about when he talks about emergency spending? >> there is a precedence if you are talking about emergency extension of the unemployment benefits. there is an effort to make it a permanent way of life in the united states. from the point of view of republicans, they say it is not

an emergency. we are responding money. we need to put it in the budget and not pretending as you say it is like a hurricane or unforeseen act of god. >> it sounds like if you listen to chuck shumer, democrats, they plan to use it in the midterm election. they plan to use this issue and talk about income inquality and this is exhibit a according to democrats. >> this is a prequell. you will so this rolled out and what the president will talk about when he has the state of the union dress. war on the poor and income inequality and all of that that surrounded the central theme of his president so and shuck shumer talking over the weekend and making clear the jobless benefits and long- term benefits are a part of it. and demand in increase in minimum wage. democrat say to republicans, look obama care is not going

great but we are not trying to help them but hurt them. and they charge that republicans are trying to hurt poor people. >> do we know how the vote is going? >> he will probably be forced to the negotiating table and the artic vortex is not only chicago but washington d.c. employees are mad at him because he put the nuclear option and so get ready for the rough stuff. >> i will get ready for the vortex. >> call it polar vortex. >> sorry, sorry. >> i know. this could cost taxpayer 25 billion over two years. are they the best way to nurse the economy back to health and get americans back to work? we'll get to that deeper in the program. new developments on the

california battle of a family to keep their daughter alive. jaha was declared brain dead after complications of transil surgery. claudia is back live in san francisco. claudia? >> reporter: well, bill, jaha was quietly released from the hospital in oakland and according to her lawyer undergoing procedure to give her permanent breathing tube. a center in new york is willing to accept her. the cell phone video shoes a private ambulance taking jaha away. she is hooked up to a ventilator was due to be turned off tomorrow at 5 o'clock p.m. the clock is still ticking. her family said she hasn't had food in 27 days and her body is

descent greating and her throat is infected and she needs nourishment to give her rehabilitation. >> it is difficult had children's found in their heart to give her a breathing and feeding tube. jaha is fragile. we are happy she is out. but she is not out of the woods in terms of her own health because she is right now in transit. we ask people to keep her in their thoughts and prayers. >> reporter: this prompted hate mail to his office and death threats that were fuelled by the man he was seen sparring with with. the hospital spokesman said in lobbying to get her a feeding tube, the family's attorney is perpetuating a tragic hope on the family. the county coroner said there is

no chance that jaha will ever recover. meanwhile bill, what happened in the surgery on december 9th that led to her being declared brain dead is under investigation by the hospital and county health department. >> claudia, thank you. the obama administration changing its tune on what makes obama care a success? the sen million target enrollment number was not a real goal. >> and lost but now found. a chance encounter that reunited a man with his worried family and how that happen. >> fighting many years ago, and pays the ultimate uñct/ñprice. and now violence is again in fallujah in iraq. what does that mean for the sacrifices by our men and women in uniform? .

militants gang control of two key cities. one of them fallujah where you will recall the insurgency began in 2004 and brought under control after 70 brave americans gave their lives. what does the new crisis in irake mean for the sacrifices we made there. joining me is ambassador john bolton. and retired lent oliver north fox military analyst who spent time in iraq during the war. colonel north, can you help us understand what is happening in iraq and fallujah is terrorist really getting a choke hold? >> look, the words that the administration can never say radical islam took over in then bar fro vince. not only fallujah and ramadi.

but the syrian border. radical islamist tock charge and many of them with a fair number of shiits as well. >> ambassador bolton. the leader told state television give him 2 or 3 days all needed to push them out of the province. is this bigger? >> it is bigger than that it is representing the final crash of american policy sadly the last couple of years in the bush administration and withdrawal of american forces lost us all of the leverage we had to keepwf

together. it has sdpended in civil war between the sewnies and shiits and we see the oppression of the almalkey regime directed by the a yatollas. >> colonel north. we have spent a trillion in iraq. and lost soldiers and marines it must make you sick to hear this. >> yes, spending all of those months and most of it inn bar back in 2003. most of the my time over the in the province and i watched pro-western coalition of the sewny shakes and all of the awakening. because of the american presence and american involvement in that, there was no choice, they

had to get along. i am not saying we ought to have american troops in thousands of numbers. but the withdrawal in 2011 brought this b. the end result of the failure of the administration in iraq is a symbol of what is to come in afghanistan if we turn tail and run from there like we did in iraq. >> ambassador bolton, who is the answer now? secretary of state kerry said we stand with the iraqi government but not considering putting boots on the ground; what is the right strategy? >> it is not to apply the al- maliki government to supply missiles. whatever we give the government, whether weaponry sophisticated weaponry or intelligence. we might as well deliver it to teheran. >> begin that, we shouldn't give

themanything? what can we do to help? >> i think if there were ways of helping, for example, the kurdish leaders and their continued movement, and sunnies or shiits there were in iraq that still share the ideal of a government that is not beholden to someone else. but in terms of the conflict of the al-qaeda and a l- ma lak i. kissinger said a statement maybe both sides can lose. >> what is the answer now? >> ultimately you are going to end up areas for the kurds and the shiits running the government back in baghdad. it will not be a democracy and the idea that baghdad will control all of what is now called iraq is foolhearty to think it would happen.

the administration refused to negotiate a bilateral security agreement. we ought to use this as a lesson and make sure that does not happen in afghanistan. >> thank you so much for both of your expertise on this issue. >> disturbing to learn what is happening now. >> we are learning about a deadly plane crash in colorado what we know about the crash. >> and fears that a mountain lion on the loose and on the hunt. >> first reaction was wow. it is a very big cat and paws are huge. and you know, i would be worried about 110 pounds. we are looking for a closure and hoping to know what the option was and where he is. jim, i adore the pool at your hotel.

anna, your hotels have wondrous waffle bars. ryan, your hotel's robes are fabulous. i have 12 of them! 12? shhhh, i'm worth it... what i'm trying to say is, it's so hard to pick just one of you, so i'm choosing all of you with hotels.com. a loyalty program that requires no loyalty. earn free nights worldwide with hotels.com

a woman who called herself jihad jane. learned her fate. the judge sentenced her to 15 years behind bars. she admitted into taking part in a plot of trying to kill a swedish artist. she has spent four years behind bar and could be out by year 2020. was bad weather a factor in a fiery crash in aspen, colorado? one person dead and two others injured? will has that story now. >> reporter: the ntsb is on the scene trying to get the answers. this flight started in mexico and flew to tucson, arizona and

went to colorado and trying to land in aspen when the crash started. aspen is 100 southwest of denver. look at the jet and ha what is left. the fuselage is charred. the crash killed a 54-year-old. injuring two others. one in serious condition and another critical. all throw were pilots in the plane. the plane appears to have attempted several approaches in to the airport before the crash. we can tell you that the airport was shut down yesterday and shut down for the entire today, as the ntsb continues to investigate. the winds were shifting rapidly and gusts up to 30 miles per hour when the plane tried to land. there was a brief snow shower at the time and difficult to land

in those conditions. this is not the first fatal crash in the airport. in 2001 a plane crash killed 18 people that were on approach when the crash happen. we are told that it is a difficult airport for pilots to land in. >> sure is especially in the winter time. back to the weather. we have not seen a deep freeze like this in decades. weather warpings for dangerously low attaches and how cold is it. >> and how many people had to sign up for obama care in order for the program to be a success. there is no magic bullet. questions will amount about the affect the president's law will have on the economy. here is mitt romney. >> it is continuing to delay the recovery of the economy. the distressing year of 2013, americans continue to not find the full- time jobs they need.

that is something that the president has to recognize as a first priority of his administration. óqoqúúñ@

bitterly cold temperatures in most of the country. but you anyhow that. >> i did. >> freezing weather caused by a cyclone of artic air known as a polar vortex. expected to stick around for a week.

>> liz cheney dropping her bid for a wyoming senate society. her decision came as a result of serious health issues in her family. cheney started controversy when she got in a public rift request her sister who is a lesbian. >> and pope francis, mass at st. peters basilica is different than worshipers in bulgarria. they dressed up in costume and played bagpipes and was on the frozen river. >> you would not have to go far to do that here. >> it is a balmy 55. >> not for long. >> correct. it is changing soon. >> a new lawsuit over obama care, wisconsin republicans, senator ron johnson announcing a lawsuit over special treatment for members of congress and their employees.

this comes as the administration is claiming 2 million enrollees. and chief national correspondent joins us live from washington with that part of the story. >> the administration has been congratulating itself on enrolling 2.1 million people in the private plans by the end of last year. analyst say it is little early to uncork the champagne. nobama care has proven that it can enroll sick people. two have 2 million people enrolled out of 20 million uninsured indicates that you have a small group of people enrolled. >> and that is one- third short of the goal embraced by the administration to sign up 3.3 million in the end of the year. no one can say who is enrolling. early enrollees are those who

need health care. >> for those waiting, some are put off by the cost and the least expensive is the deductibles of $5,000. people have to pay that much out of pocket before the insurance kickin. the administration likes to cite massachusetts as you precedent, but former governor romney told fox news that he vetoed a provision with a long list of benefits like those in obama care. >> the idea of 70-year-old has to have birth control provisions or maternity coverage. they are things that people should be able to select on their own. >> it would fine people without insurance, democrats made that penalty unenforceable. >> they were fearful of the and

it would result in trouble on their hands. >> so the penalty will be taken out of the tax refund. and the administration needs to sign up 5 million more to meet the goal of 7 million. >> thank you for setting that up for us. >> there is no magic number. the key to ren roll people and have a exchange. >> secretary of health and human services, that would be 7 million by march. >> it is ongoing strong market. >> so that is the president's economic advisor down playing the goal of 7 million by march. >> now critics say the white house is trying to move the goal post. la rs larson. and rosen berg. is a former campaign advisor for president bill clinton. >> and simon, you heard gene

sperling, there is no magic number. we in the media did not make up the sen million figure. that is the figure they used and here is the evidence. this is what kathleen sebelius said to reporters in june. she said, we are hopeful that 7 million is a realistic target. three months later she used the number in september. >> i think success looks like at least 7 million people having signed up by the end of march 2014. >> success locks like 7 million having seened up. are they back pedalling now. >> yoke so. what gene was saying, we know it is going to be more than just how many people sign up, but whether they get the health insurance and all of the back end stuff is working. success is more complicated than the numberic sign up.

4 million for medicaid and 2 million in the private insurance. and 3 million in the dult plan. and 7 million signed up through the system already. and so the administration feels like things are working okay after a very bad start. >> let me stop you for a second. you are counting 4 million on medicaid. were they originally counting 4 million on medicaid. >> no. in the measure that you are usings answer is no. all i am stating sen million people is a fact so far seened up for obama care through the system they have and it is clearly more than we thought it would be at this point. >> la res. >> oh, my goodness. >> sounds like mission accomplish. >> figures lie and liar figure. as long as the administration is involved they are piling up

pinochios. and think about this. if as was pointed out by senator johnson sick people sign up. and well people look you want and say thousands for deductibles that i will never reach. i will go and pay the penalty for the first few years and as a result of that, insurance companies will raise premiums and as they do that, fewer people will sign up in the out years and that is a spiral of death for the whole plan which is what president obama wants. he wants a single payer system like the uk and canada and that is disastrous for americans. >> simon you see it with 7 million signed up including those funneled to medicaid. is this a success? it doesn't seem as to the administration touts it as a success and being cautious about trummeting it?

>> i don't think anybody is saying that the roll out of the health care plan is a success. they are clear and disappointed and huge problems with it. the truth is certain measures it is doing better than we thought. it is problematic and good news is health care costs are down and more people are signed up after the roll out. but clearly we'll know whether it is a success or not 6 or 19or months or a year from now. >> la res? i hear you chuckling. >> wait until it starts killing people. there is a young lady in northern california outside of the town of chico, who has a rare disease. and they know how to fix it and 28 years old and starving to death. she is down to a hundred pounds and forced on obama care and guess what, two plans he had available to her don't cover the doctors that know how to fix her

ailment and she may of obama care. that is an extreme example. this thing is a disaster even after the health insurance website is fixed and paper work is fixed. this thing is a disaster for a lot of american families and the goal to bend the cost curve by getting people to seek proactive care, how do you do that when the first 5,000 on you mom and dad, they will retard accessing primary care because every time we go to the doctor, we are paying out of pocket. that is not bending the cost curve and simon know its. >> simon you want to quickly respond? >> in the last few years health care costs have risen in a lower rate and that is encourages and we should be excited about. that the thing that is driving the budget deficit is galloping health care costs. we have a long way to go. >> thank you, gentlemen.

more to come. >> congress back in session in a debate over extending benefits. will that vote fly with republicans without matching spending cuts on the way. >> college costs that could change in a way that affects every fan. [ coughs, sneezes ]

>> happy new year. coming up on the real story. what do you think president obama's new year's resolution may be. hitting a reset button after the obama care roll out. and seven years after madeline mccan's abduction british police know who abducted her. should ryan seabrook be nervous. he's about to unveil a new key board but black berry is slapping with him lawsuit. >> and extending unemployment

benefits would cost taxpayers 25 million. and the senate is expected to vote on that. and david asbin on the fox business network. hello, to you. will this pass? >> it depends. there is a lot of political bullying going on. you mentioned to chris in the top of the hour. the democrats like the issue because it takes the focus off obama care and makes republicans look like mr. potter and dealing with employees as cattle and people who don't deserve an increase in wages. look at the economic side of it for a second. it would be a 25 billion annual costs and we started the program in 2009 and supposed to be a year or so and extended on to now. and democrats say for every dollar you spend you get back

a 1.85. and maybe we should pay unemployment benefits and no one works. that sort of reasoning doesn't make sense. >> this is 99 weeks and that would resolve the economic fallout. >> before that it was half and less than that. and half of a year and we extended that to 99 weeks. first a full year and then two years. and then it became something that appears to be perm ment. how long will it go on? and how much will it cost and what are the affects on employers. there is a act that bosses have to pay. and it adds up. and it makes it more likely that an employer will thick twice before hiring somebody. and couple of economist surveys. unemployment hurts unemployment.

the bureau of research. a nonpartisan organization. most of the persistent unemployment of the great depression can be accounted for because of unemployment eligibility and even president obama's xheef economist said that job search is inversely related to the generositty of unemployment benefits and maybe by extending the unemployment benefits, we are hurting job growth. >> nancy pelosi shout out. unemployment insurance kept 11 million people out of poverty including children. we must renew ui. i don't know if that is thorough or not. >> we tried to fix poverty and we spend trillions of dollars. you can't buy them out of poverty. you have to provide an

environment in which jobs are key. >> we await the vote. >> and tonight. florida state and a uburn play for the bcs national championship and it comes at a time of uncertainty. big schools who makes millions of dollars from tv are debating on how to compensate student athletes. >> hi, william. >> reporter: well, ally paying college athletes is coming. but when? how much the they get. and will it only include basketball and football? this year's bowl season payout 2 million. and annual tv rights. and 20 million for school and five pillion in t- shirts and jerseys. >> this is run like the nfl and

nba. the only ones that don't get to participate is the athletes. >> many say it is time to end the hypochrissy. colleges protect students but making millions off their entertainment. the everyone gets a part of the coaches, universities and televisions and shoe companies. everyone participating is benefitting. everybody but those on the field. >> ncaa argues that colleges pay athletes through scholarship and salaries would ruin the college brand. >> kids that come through the ncaa and into the system deserve better. >> once the face of college basketball, and winning a championship in ucla only to learn that the ncaa solid his image without his permission. his lawsuit will likely answer

this controversial question. >> should student athletes be paid? that is not the right framing. should they be restricted and why? >> coaches urge players to time and avoid classes that could hurt their eligibility. many leave college unprepared. >> most of the top division i athletes never have a pro career and regrettably very large numbers of them never come away with a college degree either. >> william, thanks so much. >> seems to come up everybody year. william, thank you. take a look at this photo now. a random photo by a reporter helps make one family whole again. the story behind this reunion. mine was earned orbiti the moon in 1971. afghastan, in 2009. on the u.s.s. saratoga in 1982.

nicolas. >> it was really complete and utter chance that i happened to be in the same place as nicolas. on saturday, the story was really the weather, the cold weather sweeping through the country. so saturday morning at dawn, i went out to look for a cold weather feature. my editor suggested i might check how the homeless were doing in the cold weather. so i went to a steam grate where i know homeless people congregate for the warmth. i went there, and there was a group of four men. i introduced myself and asked if i could take some pictures. they agreed. as i worked the scene, taking pictures and moving around the grate, i noticed that the fourth man was much younger and he was huddled on the ground against the grate for warmth. so i asked if i could take his picture. he also agreed. after i was, you know, done taking photographs, i leaned down and asked him if it was okay to write his name for the picture. he said, you can just call me nick.

>> jacqueline, was he a runaway? how did he get to be in washington? >> i'm afraid we have very little information on that. we do know that he, at some point, drove from his family home. no one seems to know where the car was left or how exactly he got to d.c. i do know that he did not have identification with him. there has not been any confirmation on exactly what was going on. so i'm afraid all i have really is where he was and what happened after. >> you have a picture and a reunited family. thank you for your story. >> thank you very much. >> jacqueline martin there from the white house. >> the police chief called this a miracle, how it all worked out. that's great. we'll be right back.
